How to Change a Sewing Machine needle

One of the things I cover in Back to Basics  the online sewing course for beginners and refreshers, is how to change a sewing machine needle. 

How often to you change your needle? Did you know you should change it for a fresh one every 3/4 bobbins full?  Or at the start of every new project?

A blunt needle can cause all sorts of issues - including problems with stitches ... when you're troubleshooting a problem with your machine, changing a needle is one of the first things you should do! 

Did you know that when the dressmakers made Kate Middleton's wedding dress they changed their needles every 3 hours? It's so important for precision and optimum use from your machine..

But do you actually know how to change a needle on your own machine?  If not - watch this short video I made to explain it, it's a sample lesson from LEARN TO SEW: Back to Basics, my brand new online course launching 29th October - I hope you find it useful!
